  • PURs preconfigured uplink resources
  • Dedicated PUR works well for cases where the data traffic is periodic, but is not well suited for bursty or aperiodic traffic.
  • Sharing of PUR resources could be one feature to allow multiple IoT devices which have bursty traffic to make reports while remaining in an idle or inactive state which saves the UE power consumption.
  • PURs are no longer dedicated to a single UE multiple UE may simultaneously access a PUR for which there may be a contention resolution process.
  • a UE tries to use any contention based PUR resources but is unsuccessful then a fallback method needs to be defined.
  • CFS PUR contention free shared preconfigured resources
  • CBS PUR contention based shared preconfigured uplink resource
  • the UE If the UE does not receive the ACK for its C-RNTI, it needs to abandon the transmission and fallback to normal RACH or EDT procedure. Otherwise the UE needs to wait for next D-PUR opportunity to send the uplink.
  • the above fallback mechanism may result in delay in completing the CBS PUR transmission. If the UE uses EDT or RACH transmission it may also increase the energy usage for the aperiodic emergency uplink transmissions.
  • the failure scenario for CBS-PUR transmission is improved with dynamic allocation of multiple resources for CBS-PUR retransmission with possibility for reduced collision.
  • the UE is assigned with CBS- PURs via dedicated RRC signaling.
  • UE sends the uplink data using the PUSCH allocated for CBS PUR transmission.
  • the UE is assigned with common RNTI for receiving DCI indicating or containing the NACK for CBS transmission in addition to the UE specific RNTI assigned for monitoring ACK.
  • the gNB is able to decode the transmission from any UE in the CBS resources, it sends DCI indicating or containing ACK and scrambled with the UE-specific RNTI. The UE that is able to decode this DCI then determines that its transmission in the CBS PUR was successfully received by the gNB.
  • the gNB may send DCI containing or indicating NACK and scrambled with the common RNTI.
  • the UE monitoring the NACK may use a fallback procedure for retransmission.
  • the gNB in case the gNB is not able to decode any of the UE on the CBS resources but the received signal level is higher than a predefined or preconfigured threshold, it indicates a potential collision scenario. In this case the gNB sends DCI containing or indicating NACK and uplink grants for multiple PUSCH resources. These multiple grants are also for CBS PUSCH access for the UE which competed for access over the first CBS PUSCH resources.
  • the NACK is implicit and given by the common RNTI. That is, UE detecting a DCI scrambled with the common RNTI may interpret this as NACK.
  • This DCI may itself contain an uplink grant.
  • the number of PUSCH resources may be signaled via higher-layer signaling.
  • the gNB may determine the number of PUSCH resources based on the received signal level or on the number of detected reference signals. In one embodiment, the gNB may determine the number of PUSCH resources based on historical trends. For example, over time the gNB may learn the transmission probability for a particular group of UEs and use this information to determine the PUSCH resources needed.
  • the DCI may indicate a delayed grant of the multiple PUSCH resources.
  • UEs may monitor PDCCH candidate locations before the granted multiple PUSCH resources for DCI scrambled by the dedicated RNTI for an uplink PUSCH grant. If the gNB is able to detect specific reference signals, it may first provide dedicated grants to the corresponding UEs. UEs that did not receive a dedicated grant may then attempt to use the grant of multiple PUSCH resources.
  • the UE in case the UE receives the DCI with common RNTI, the UE randomly selects one of the multiple PUSCH resources for retransmission of PUSCH transmissions. As there are likely to be more PUSCH resources for distributing the competing UE to retransmit their PUSCH, the probability of successful completion of PUSCH transmission for all the competing UE may be higher.
  • the gNB may send two DCIs where the first DCI scrambled with the dedicated RNTI contains ACK for the UE whose transmission it was able to decode successfully and the second DCI scrambled with the common RNTI contains NACK for all other UEs.
  • the gNB detects one of the UE successfully on the PUSCH but deduces based on the total interference /signal level or the presence of other reference signal(s), the possibility of other competing UE(s), the gNB may also send NACK using common RNTI for other UE which failed the CBS access for retransmission of the PUSCH.
  • the second DCI indicating NACK may then include allocation of multiple PUSCH resources for retransmission when the gNB determines that there may have been failed PUSCH transmissions.
  • the UE monitors two DCIs - first DCI scrambled with dedicated RNTI for ACK and a second DCI scrambled with common RNTI for NACK. In case a UE receives ACK in the first DCI, it ignores the second DCI. In case a UE does not receive an ACK in the first DCI and receives a NACK in the second DCI, it decodes the second DCI to determine allocation of resources for retransmission. In this case also the UE which did not succeed in the CBS-PUR attempt can retransmit using these resources.
  • the UE attempting the PUSCH over the CBS-PUR transmission checks in two predetermined (e.g., fixed in the specification) or preconfigured (e.g., through RRC) PDCCH candidate locations for valid DCI with dedicated RNTI and common RNTI. This is to check whether the PUSCH is received at gNB or not and also whether gNB is assigning another CBS-PUR for retransmission or not. If none of the above is received, the UE may fall back to RACH or EDT transmission.
  • predetermined e.g., fixed in the specification
  • preconfigured e.g., through RRC
  • the UE did not receive DCI with either common RNTI or its dedicated RNTI, it can send common preamble assigned to the CBS PUR to indicate the resources required for PUSCH retransmission. Prior to fallback to EDT, the UE can send this common preamble so that the eNB or gNB can assign TBS and resources configured for CBS-PUR instead of using EDT configuration which may not be suitable for the amount of data configured for CBS-PUR access.
  • FIG. 3 is a diagram 300 illustrating example steps of the described method.
  • several UEs (UE1, UE2, and UE3) are competing for access over the first CBS PUSCH resources.
  • the UE did not receive DCI with either common RNTI or its dedicated RNTI, it can send common preamble assigned to the CBS PUR 310 to indicate the resources required for PUSCH retransmission.
  • Benefits of the examples described herein include enabling completion of CBS-PUR transmission for multiple UE without the UE falling back to EDT or RACH mechanism.
  • the collision probability for CBS-PUR retransmission reduces and the overall performance for CBS-PUR transmission improves.
  • Dynamic CBS-PUR resource allocation for retransmission from failed UE may be beneficial if a higher number of UEs are mapped to the CBS-PUR but only few of them are expected to access the CBS-PUR resources at any given instance of the CBS-PUR.

Abstract

Des procédés, des appareils, et des programmes informatiques destinés à la configuration de ressources de liaison montante préconfigurées partagées sur la base d'une contention sont divulgués. Un procédé donné à titre d'exemple comprend les étapes suivantes : la réception d'une attribution de ressources de liaison montante préconfigurées partagées sur la base d'une contention ; la réception d'une attribution d'un identifiant temporaire de réseau radio commun pour surveiller des informations de commande de liaison descendante indiquant un accusé de réception négatif pour une transmission partagée sur la base d'une contention, et un identifiant temporaire de réseau radio dédié pour surveiller des informations de commande de liaison descendante indiquant un accusé de réception de transmission de données de liaison montante ; la transmission des données de liaison montante au moyen d'un canal partagé de liaison montante physique attribué pour la transmission de ressources de liaison montante préconfigurées partagées sur la base d'une contention ; en réponse aux informations de commande de liaison descendante indiquant l'accusé de réception négatif et les autorisations de liaison montante pour de multiples ressources de canal partagé de liaison montante physique, la retransmission des données de liaison montante sur une attribution de liaison montante sélectionnée parmi les autorisations de liaison montante reçues ; et en réponse aux informations de commande de liaison descendante indiquant l'accusé de réception, la non-retransmission des données de liaison montante.
